Hi, I have a my own domain which is currently being hosted free here. What is the best way to have someone contact me through the site? Leaving just my email address on a webpage is an invitation to spammers Any ideas? Dave |

Hi Davestite, Usually what I do is create a page with 3 boxes, Name, Email. Message. Then store this in a database and remember to check it regularly. If you want a hand creating it I will help you. Josh |

Hi Josh, Thanks for the reply, and the offer. If I understand correctly you mean a person would enter in their details into these fields and then, I would have to log into freehostia and check the DB to see if anyone sent me something? Dave P.S. I am using that count up script you helped with me on the template of the site. Great stuff! |

Hi Dave, Thats the basics of it, however you could have something that wouldnt require you to login to freehostia but a seperate page that would have the controls you would need, you would then need to email them back. The other option is to create a separate email address and get people to contact you via that. Unfortunately you cannot send email via php on a free account, that would be the perfect solution.

Hi Josh, I don't think I could handle creating another email address and leaving it out there. Spam would do my head in! I think that would be a problem there, even with a new address just for the site? OK the form. Before I ask for help What about one of these widget things? like http://kontactr.com ? But I always get suspicious over free things like that. Not sure if I have to login to their site or to retrieve? If I did it defeats the purpose. If I do then I will go with your idea of a contact form? Dave |
